June 9, 2024 • Josh Strelecki • Ephesians 4:7–16

In this sermon Josh Strelecki, Pastor-Teacher reminds of the perspective of the kingdom of God and Christ in Ephesians chapters one to four. He reminds of the unity of faith as a result of Christ's work and the importance of recognizing and preserving this unity. Strelecki recalls the process of maturity and development in the faith, highlighting the revelation of knowledge and wisdom in Christ and the significance of understanding the unity provided by the gospel and the doctrines of the body of Christ as given in Romans. In this sermon, Josh looks into the significance of Jesus' fleshly identity, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and believing in the incarnation. Highlighted is the unity that the faith provides for both Jew and Gentile believers, stressing that one is not superior to the other according to the gospel. Strelecki underscores the belief in Jesus' resurrection as being greater than flesh and the recognition of Jesus Christ the Lord, regardless of his fleshly identity. Also covered is the concept of unity in the faith, emphasizing that all are under sin and that the faith unifies people in connection with their sinfulness and righteousness. He discusses the perfecting of the saints and the spiritual gifts, highlighting the role of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers in this process. One of the main points was exploring the metaphor of seeing through a glass darkly and the transition to seeing face to face without the glass, examining the implications of this concept in the context of the New Testament, specifically in Paul's writings during Paul's life. Strelecki explores 1 Corinthians 13 alongside with what Christ gave grace unto, that is, the perfect man and the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ. He ends by describing the perfect man and the fulness of Christ.
